Here's a bundle of sites that may be worth
bookmarking...
-
http://www.certificatesharing.com/ This is an innovative Australian-made, not-for-profit web
resource that is taking on the challenge of being a local clearing house for
those of us with BDM certificate purchases which turned out to
be fanciful, wrong, misleading, or just surplus to research requirements.
It invites you to upload your "spare" certificate(s) and do a bit of a
transcription of the key facts online on the way through. The site's potential
is boundless.
-
http://www.emeraldancestors.com/ A new site that provides instant access to one of the
largest collections of Irish genealogy records available, as well as a range
of rare Irish history book reprints. It specialises in Irish ancestry within Northern Ireland and its
extensive database contains birth, marriage, death, and census records for
more than a million ancestors in Counties Antrim, Armagh, Down,
Fermanagh, Londonderry and Tyrone.

Drive! A comprehensive site devoted to the community campaign to protect a

http://www.yungaba.org.au/ A website dedicated to the community-based
campaign to help prevent one of the State of Queensland's most iconic and
historically-significant public buildings from being turned into yet another
soul-less yuppie residential enclave. Yungaba was the official
reception centre through which tens of thousands of newly-arrived
immigrants had to pass in the late 19th Century - sort of Brisbane's answer to
New York's legendary Ellis Island.
- http://www.theshipslist.com/ A wonderfully comprehensive listing for the
individual histories of a veritable fleet of immigration vessels from the 20th

Australia and even some for South Africa.
